Membership at CME Group

CME Group represents the merger of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), its commodity exchange division, and the Commodity Exchange, Inc. (COMEX). The formation of CME Group did not, however, result in any change to trading privileges for CME, CBOT, and NYMEX/COMEX members.

Members of CME Group's legacy exchanges continue to trade on the same terms as before the merger transactions. To cross-trade products at member rates, participants need to have memberships at each of the CME Group legacy exchanges.

CME, CBOT, and NYMEX/COMEX membership types, fees and requirements vary, as do terms for purchasing and leasing memberships.

CME Group is the world's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace. The company is comprised of four Designated Contract Markets (DCMs). Further information on each exchange's rules and product listings can be found by clicking on the links to CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX.
